Canyon Picnics Continue in Favor. Chautauqua Park and Ashland Creek canyon continue to be popular resorts for picnic parties, many peo ple coming from other places to spend a restful day in these spots. A number of little picnic crowds from out of town were seen in the park Saturday, most of them being Medford visitors. One group of' lit tle people, who seemed to thorough ly enjoy the hill-climbing and the wading, was chaperoned by Miss Wiley of Medford, and was composed of the following children: Ruth Akin. Melise Mackay, Marion and William Brown. Another group who seemed to ap preciate the coolness and quiet of the grove were Mrs. Meckelson of Walla Walla, Wash., and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brooks and son Stanford of Medford. ' : Farther up the canyon, another group were merrily celebrating the eighth birthday of little Georganna Clift of this city. The wading in the cool waters of the creek seemed to particularly appeal, to the little peo ple in this group, also.- Those in tnis party were Mrs. H. C. Garnett and daughters Fay and Ruth, Mrs. S. A. Van Hardenburg and daughters Fern and May, Mrs. Lyon and son Byron, and Christine Berryhill of Medford, and Mrs. A. E. Hensley and daughters Georganna and Pauline Clift and Genevieve Hensley, and Desda Hadley of this city. Another party composed of Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Hurley, W. H. Hurley and Miss Ethelyn Hurley spent the noon hour in the pavilion partaking of a delicious basket dinner, and en joyed a few hours f rest and quiet in the park afterward. Mrs. Jennie Moran and small son and Mrs. James Clark formed another little group on Friday, also. Not a day this summer has the park been without several of these little groups, and from the number of picnic crowds seen there lately, the idea of spending a few hours on the banks of Ashland creek seems to be steadily gaining in favor. SHEEP ARE VALUABLE WVIhorn lieeson Advises Every Farmer to Raise Koine. According to Welborn Beeson of Talent, a highly successful rancher and a pioneer of Jackson county, any ranch or farm is as incomplete without a few sheep as would be a cartoon of Colonel Roosevelt without a display of molars. Furthermore, he has the figures to show that from a financial standpoint nothing could be more lucrative than a small flock of sheep, well attended. Mr. Beeson is not in the sheep raining business and never has been, though for the past five years he has had a few animals about the ranch. These he has Kept carefully under his observation that he might prove his belief that they were prof itable. A year ago he decided that he had too large a flock and he disposed of all save ten choice ewes. These he valued at $10 each, the amount he was offered by the butcher. Since that time he has sold from these ten ewes and their offspring wool to the value of $59.1 r and mutton $28 a total of $S7.ir. He has at this time 28 sheep in his flock, which he val ues at $140. This gives him a gain of $177.15 in one' year's time. Equally as convincing Is his report for the entire five years. At that time he started with 13 sheep, valued at $72. The wool and mutton sold since that time has brought $522. In addition to this, they have cleared for the most part 10 acres of land, which would have amounted to $620 In time and money If he had accom plished the work himself or had the piece cleared by coutract. As before, the 2 8 sheep still remain at the val uation of 140. The total revenrte from the flock in the five years Is $1,282, or a gain of $1,212 In five years. Contrary to the prevalent belief, Mr. Beeson states that the pasturing of sheep is not detrimental to the land. On the other hand, it is very helpful through the enrichment af forded by the flock. Another point of interest, according to Mr. Beeson, is that fact that there is little or no care attached to the work and that the mouey resulting from the flock Is practically without effort.

D., formerly the president of Occi dental College, and now a member of the temperance committee of the Presbyterian church, spent Friday in Ashland conferring with the pastor of the local church here in regard to certain libels which have appeared in a certain prohibition paper called the "Advance," which paper has stat ed that the general assembly of the Presbyterian church had repudiated the Anti-Saloon League. Dr. Wads worth authorizes the following offi cial announcement to be made: "At the last general assembly the body was asked whether any church Aufl 0 uojiiuSooaj asjB pinoo lanoo non-ecciesiastical organization, or appoint officers to same. The as sembly answered that such action was contrary to the constitution of the church. This action applies to all temperance organizations which are non-ecclesiastical, such as politi cal parties, W. C. T. U., leagues, etc. This does not mean that the general assembly is not in sympathy with their work, but only states that the constitution of the church forbids any vital connection with such or ganizations. At the same time the general assembly commended the permanent committee for working in harmony wltn the Anti-Saloon League. So that, instead of repudi ating the league, the general assem bly went as far as its constitution allows it and commends its work." Dr. Wadsworth further stated that the general assembly committee, while asking a gift from each church for its own work, believed that the major portion of the money raised on any field should go to such local work as the Anti-Saloon League is carrying on. Dr. Wadsworth also confirmed the sensational exposure of a certain ed itor of a temperance paper which has been making violent attacks on the league. The source of the most of the attacks on the league have come from a Mr. Robinson of St. Louis. William E. Johnson, a member of the permanent committee, unearthed certain correspondence, showing that Mr. Robinson was in the pay of the liquor interests. This correspond ence is now on file, and shows be yond all doubt that said Robinson, while posing as one of the editors of a temperance paper which confines the most of its editorials to attacks upon the Anti-Saloon League, ic act ually an agent of certain liquor asso ciations. On account of these two temper ance papers being sent free to large numbers of the members of the Anti Saloon League, evidently with the object of injuring the league In this state, Dr. Wadsworth is visiting the leading churches of the state to coun teract the falsehoods' of such Irre sponsible articles. Dr. Wadsworth hopes to visit Ashland later and give a stereoptlcan lecture explaining the work of the general assembly's com mittee on temperance. H. T. CHISHOLM. WANT POLICE MATROX. Medford Ladies Petition Council for Woman on Force. Medford needs a police matron. Such Is the opinion of the local W. C. T. U. and Borne of the woman's clubs of the different churches, and to that end they have taken active steps to place the matter before the council in the near future. A wom an has been found whom the W. C. T. U. thinks is worthy to be a cus todian of the law In the personage of Miss Harriet Selly of Portland, Ore., who has have five years' ex perience In such work in Norfolk, Va. Her name will be presented to the mayor, should their request be granted. Many reasons why a police ma tron Is necessary to Medford are given by the ladies. "There are many troubles," said one member of the W. C. T. L, "that people will not tell to a policeman. Laws are broken every day and their consequences quietly borne until they grow into such abnormal pro portions that the police attention is attracted to them. This could be avoided to a great extent if a woman was on the force." "We also believe tnat the possibil ity of white slavery could to a large degree be precluded by a woman be ing on duty on the force. Delin quency could also be abated and in general the moral tone of the city Improved. We do not look for oppo sition from the mayor or the city council for we believe that they are informed as to conditions and that they appreciate that tne better the laws are enforced the healthier the moral tone of the city becomes." Medford Sun. Sold Bad Meat. George .
